Civil Disobedience

How civil must we be in our disobedience?Since it is treasonous to ignore the
foundations of our nation, is it morally right to obey those restrictions set
up by those who would usurp our ability to function the way our founders intended?To disobey those laws, set up by those who
would restrict our God given rights, is the duty of every American
citizen.This is known as protest.Generally speaking, we Americans have been
real wimps while our freedoms have been whittled away. “We hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,”[1].
We must, from now on, refuse to participate in
the restriction of our freedoms.Live
free or die! “..when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,”[2]
In order to do what we must, we need to learn the full extent of our rights and
freedoms.When we find ourselves secure
in this knowledge, we then must refuse to participate in the restrictions to
our liberties.We may find that we run head
long into the authorities as some hero’s of the past have done.If we are serious about our rights, we must
be willing to put up with the consequences of our actions.“— And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we
mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”[3]Keep in mind that the Declaration of
Independence says that our rights are given by God.Only those who think they are above God will
try to take them away.

The following bracketed section was taken directly
from the Declaration of Independence, with only slight alterations and changing
the names to protect the innocent.Read
this section and consider its relevance to our present day political situation.

[The history of the recent administrations is a
history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these Unites States. To prove this,
let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

They
have refused their Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.

They
have insisted that their legislators pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till their Assent should be
obtained; and when so suspended, they have utterly neglected to attend to them.

They
have refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of
people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the
public forum, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

They have called together
legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the
depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures.

They have dissolved Representative Houses to one
party repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness their invasions on the
rights of the people.

They
have refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be
elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have
returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the
mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions
within.

They
have endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose
obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others
to encourage their legal migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new
Appropriations of Lands.

They have obstructed the Administration of Justice
by refusing his recognition of Laws for establishing Executive Powers.

They
have made the people dependent on their will alone for the stimulus package,
and the amount and payment of their salaries buy escalating the unemployment rate.

They
have erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers,
known as czars to harass our people.

They
are attempting to keep among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the
Consent of our legislatures.

They
have affected to render the executive and legislative branches independent of
and superior to the will of the people.

They
have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts
of pretended Legislation:

For
quartering large bodies of progressives among us:

For
protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they
should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For
interfering with our Trade with all parts of the world by devaluation of our
dollar:

For
imposing debt on us without our Consent:

For
depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of military supervision of war
criminals:

For
transporting our navy seals beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For
planning to abolish the free System of American Laws in a world court or United
Nations situation:

The
progressives would suspend our own Legislatures and declare themselves invested
with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

They
are abdicating Government here, by declaring us out of touch and waging
domestic war against us.

They
are plundering and destroying the lives of our people.

They
are at this time transporting large Armies of union workers and community
organizers to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already
begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy administration of a civilized nation.

They
have constrained our legislators to vote for legislation, or be bribed to do
so, to their liking despite the will of the people:

They
have excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and have endeavored to bring on
the inhabitants of our tea parties, the merciless political parties, in an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.They even tried to get out citizens to spy on
each other for any personal dissention.

In
every stage of these Oppressions We have demonstrated for Redress in the most
humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated
injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define
a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor
have we been wanting in attentions to our progressive brethren. We have warned
them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an
unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances
of our emigration and settlement here. We
have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which
would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have
been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. Many have been “voting
their own conscience” rather than the will of their constituents.We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity,
which would be to vote against each and every one of them.

We,
therefore, the people of the United States of America, in General agreement,
Assembled as it were in the streets (tea parties), appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the good People of this country, solemnly publish and declare,
That these United states are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent,
that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the present administration, and
that all political connection between them and us, is and ought to be totally
dissolved; and that as Free and Independent citizens, we have full Power to
levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all
other Acts and Things which Independent people may of right do by installing
new legislators. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each
other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.]I challenge you to find very much difference
between our present government and the complaints about the King of
England.Today’s progressives are attempting
to replace our constitutional law with their ever evolving and transforming
brand of laws.The courts are ruling
based on precedent rather than constitutional law.This movement seems to transcend party lines
as all political parties are infected with these progressive ideals.

“Demon’s would make pretty good church members.They believe in Jesus, they believe in
scripture, they saw the death burial and resurrection of Christ, and know that
the Church is the hope of the world.But
there is one problem.They will not
submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.”[4]Where do you stand?Are you walking through life with head
knowledge you have never acted on?Regardless of your state of knowledge, there is one simple step that
makes it all come together.See Roman’s
10:9-13 in the ‘instruction book’[5].In the same way our elected officials know of
the existence of our founding documents but seem not to be willing to submit to
their authority.Remember folks,
elections are coming up.It is our civic
duty to replace the current elected officials with some that will believe in the
American system.

Overall we must remember that “Less with God’s
blessing is worth a lot more than more without it.”[6]
